Broken into three sections, this authoritative collection of writings by the Early Church Fathers is essential for understanding patristic thought. Series I of the Nicene and Post-Nicene Fathers consists of eight volumes of the writings of St. Augustine, the greatest and most influential of the early Fathers, as well as six volumes of the treatises and homilies of St. Chrysostom. The Nicene and Post-Nicene Fathers Series II contains in fourteen volumes the works of the Greek Fathers from Eusebius to John of Damascus and the Latin Fathers from Hilary to Gregory the Great. The Ante-Nicene Fathers represent the first primary sources of Christian history following the canon of the New Testament, and include writings from the Apostolic Fathers as well as various third and fourth century sources.

As a student of Church History& Systematic Theology; The volumes of the Church Fathers is a must for serious student who wanted to know how we got our belief systems such as doctrines, what bible books was used by the Church Fathers, and to understand the position of the Church. The volumes was delivered in a good time with each book carefully shrink-wrapped in the box.

I couldn't pass up this deal and I am elated now having received them in the mail. Quality is outstanding. No more having to read what other scholars say about the church fathers. Now they are accessible in their own words, at my own leisure and pace.
